She Suffers from Spinal Di: and This Treatment W.: Found Necessary After She Had Been in Plaster Cast for Six Months, There is a bright-faced child at No. 310 Eaat Twenty-seventh street who can give lessons in happiness to any child in Greater New York, and yet she lies all day strapped to a board, Her only amusement is lying on the fiat of her back. While the parks are filled and the streets swarming with children enjoy- ing the arrival of spring, little Florence Hunt lies helplessly in ner cot and taiks brightly of the time when she can join her playmates in their games, ‘Three years ago on New Year's Day Florence complained to her father, Peter Hunt, a letter-carrier, of pains in her back. Dootors were consulted, and fin- ally Dr. Reginald H. Sayre, of No. 9 Easi Forty-fifth street, diagnosed the case as spinal disease. The only hope was to put the child in @ cast. It was a bright day when the doctor visited the Hunt house, and Mite Florence, with a number of children, had been making mud ples on the back steps. The little one was called from her play and was told by her mother that she must give up her sports for # while if she wanted to grow up to be a ‘big, strong girl. Nearly Three Years on the Board. Florence possesses a remarkably cheer- ful disposition. Without a murmur she was luccd in the casg which she wore [v1 six months.

Her sixth birthday is on June 90 \d by that time she hopes to be free. ‘The first thing I'll do,” said Flor- ence, ‘is to make some mud ples for papa. I can make lovely mud pies.” The board upon which the patient Iit- tle girl lies ts covered with flannel. Since the Grst time she was strapped down with leather bandages the board has been changed to accommodate her growth. Tho new one is six inches longer than the first one, The upper part of the board corresponds with the contour of her back. Two divisions ex- tend from this and the child's lmbs are bandaged to them. A leather strap 1s bound under the chin gnd fastened on a steel rod at the back of the neck, which keeps the head and neck in the proper position. Her clothes are made so that they fit over the board, from which cannot be re! ed until she is entirely recovered. She Never Grambles “Every other day,” said Mrs. Hunt, ‘1 take Florence off the frame and bathe her. I rub her with alcohol and then wrap her back again. She never tries to free herself from the board and ex- preesses no uneasiness over the long, long imprisonment which she has suf- fered." Although the children in the house run and play about her no tinge of sadness mars the beautiful features of the little girl. “I can play with them, too," she sald to-day. “I play house and am t mamma, and they have to mind m Florence put down a colored picture- boole and turned her bright eyes upon her vietor as she talked. “I dream such good things," said, “Last night I dreamed of bunnies.

Mrs. Clifford came to America several weeks ago with a bundle of letters from prominent persons on the other side, It was not her intention to become a pro- fessional chaperon when she came to these shores, but failing In her first pur- pose she turned to another way to corral a few of the noted American dollars, It was her original intention, indeed, to sell her private museum. She had a letter to J. Plerpont Morgan, and, hear- ing that, he would buy anything in sight, she knocked at his private office. She says that Mr. Morgan is without ar- tistic or social {nstincts. It is quite needless to say here that he did not buy the museum, Moving from the Waldorf to apart- ments in West Thirty-sixth street and advertising her chaperonage bureau, the letters have simply brought dismay to the carrier.
